certain games/DLC are region locked... they'll detect your IP and if your IP is not from US, then they'll stop u from buying it
one way to buy those XBL region locked games/DLC from US is via VPN using a US VPN, XBL will register you're using a US IP, hence allow u to purchase those games/DLCs |

LOL
guys, it's already proven they detect by IP to check your region lah no matter what region console you're using, what gamertag you're registered with, as long as they detected the IP you're using are not from their region, straight away they'll block you. Also it's also commonly known that diff region has diff content & pricing |
